Question

3.) The following reaction takes place entirely in the vapor phase at 500ºC and 10 bar:

4HCl (g) + O2(g) <->2H2O (g) + 2Cl2(g)

a.) Find the equilibrium constant, K, at 25ºC.

b.) Find K at 500ºC, neglecting sensible heat effects.

c.) What is the “corrected” K at 500ºC when fugacity is taken into account (referred to as K_eff)? Assume the vapors are non-ideal, but form an ideal solution. No condensation takes place.
